Many would agree to the statement that Woojin Kim may be the most active young sculptor as of 2023. In the more specific category of “animal sculpture,” he easily stands out as one of the most famous artists in Korea. His artworks, including Deer and Horse, can be found not only in traditional exhibition spaces like museums and galleries, but also in places that are close to everyday life like department stores and shopping malls and even in outdoor areas like parks and forests. The animals assembled in red, yellow, green, and blue units are recognizable as Kim’s works even from far away, displaying a unique beauty of sleek linear shapes, bright colors, and neat finishes. Let us learn more about his creations that appear as sweet animal friends on the one hand and meditative mountain spirits on the other.
